Restorative Care

Restorative Care

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Rehabilitation Technology
Wearable Sensors

Background:

Traditional rehabilitation methods can be limited by accessibility and continuous monitoring challenges.
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and Electromyography (EMG) are crucial for motor function recovery and assessment.
Integrating these technologies into wearable platforms offers potential for improved patient outcomes and remote care.

Purpose of the Study:

To present novel SFIT platforms for rehabilitation and FES therapy.
To demonstrate the integration of fabric electrodes, biomechanical textile sensors, and EMG detection.
To enable gesture recognition, FES, and EMG acquisition in wearable systems for home-based and telemedicine applications.

Main Methods:

Development of two SFIT systems: one for hospitalized and home-based motor therapy, and another as a multi-electrode sleeve for FES and EMG in tremor patients.
Utilizing fabric electrodes and biomechanical textile sensors for seamless integration.
Implementing gesture recognition, EMG acquisition, and FES capabilities within the platforms.

Main Results:

The developed SFIT platforms successfully combine gesture recognition with EMG detection and FES.
The systems are designed for ease of use in daily home therapy and telemedicine services.
These innovations facilitate continuous patient support and monitoring during rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

SFIT platforms offer a versatile solution for advanced rehabilitation and FES therapy.
The integration of smart textiles enhances the capabilities of therapeutic devices.
These wearable systems have the potential to significantly improve the delivery and effectiveness of rehabilitation services, especially in home and remote settings.
